this is the most I've ever spent on a backpack. I was in need of a big camping backpack, and came to this Osprey listing. Though pricey, it is really worth every penny. it has tons of pockets and storage departments, and has good waistline support and shoulder straps are cushy and comfortable. I am able to lug around 40-50 pounds of load no problem, and best of yet the bag has insulation so your back doesn't get completely soaked in sweat! (it is dramatically better compared to normal backpacks, but yea, it still gets warm).

I love this Osprey and will buy another in the future, shall my wife decides she needs one as well! This size is perfect... I'm 5'7 160 pounds and it fits well. You can go up one more size for my frame I believe. but the smaller one will be too small/less useful in my opinion for folks in my height/frame range.

enjoy.

I adore my pack August 26, 2011
Color Name:Paprika| Size Name:Small/Medium|Amazon Verified Purchase
The hip pockets are so flippin' handy! You can stuff a cliff bar in one side and a point & shoot camera on the other. Loads of space with just the right number of compartments for all your gear. Super light to keep you hike comfortable. The built in rain cover has a nice bit of stretchy band to keep it snug. Very adjustable in all the right places. This year I've put about 40 miles on it in the backcountry; it has held up perfectly regardless of my abuse. I have a small frame and the 48 does not overwhelm me. My 3 liter camelback bladder slides into the back exterior pouch and I can not feel it against my back, then I can position the hose/bite piece exactly where I like. It makes packing up easy, since I can add water last - instead of having to build my gear around it.

I would buy this bag again and recommend it to my friends.. in fact my hiking buddy just bought his own.

Great Pack at Amazon January 24, 2012
Color Name:Paprika| Size Name:Medium/Large|Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this pack for Christmas for my son that loves backpacking. He had borrowed the same pack (same size, different color) from a brother for a trip to Havasupai in the Grand Canyon and it fit perfectly. Not too small, not too big for what he needs. There seems to be a reason that this size seems to sell out at the local backpacking store, too. And Amazon got it here fast, and cost less than anywhere else. Great pack, great job.
This summer we are all backpacking Glacier in MT and the Wind Rivers in WY with 4 Osprey packs.
